Results Case 1 Case 1 was an 82-year-old female (born in 1924) diagnosed with malignant melanoma in November 1979 following a 2-year history of a pigmented skin lesion. She underwent a local excision on December 6, 1979. Histological examination revealed invasive malignant melanoma, Clark level IV, with a maximum tumor thickness of 2 mm. A wide excision took place. Nearly 1 year later, in December 1980, an enlarged right inguinal node was palpated on examination, measuring 2 × 1.5 cm in diameter. Reportedly, abdominal and pelvic computed tomography scans (CTs), complete blood counts, and liver function tests were normal. In 1981, this patient started the Gerson regimen. A CT scan dated April 13, 1984, reported a “well defined solitary mass in the right groin.” A pathology report of a biopsy sample confirmed secondary malignant melanoma with lymph node involvement. No surgery or any other treatment was carried out, as the patient followed the Gerson regimen exclusively. A physician’s letter in May 1989 stated that the patient was well and without symptoms, there was no lymphadenopathy on examination, and abdominal and chest CTs were clear. This patient is alive and well at present (2006) based on personal assessment by the principal author.
